how to use product for indian meal moths, I can't seem to get rid of them with pheromone traps

Thank you so much for your interest in Wondercide. Indian meal moths aka pantry moths are very difficult to get rid of, the most important part is to break the life cycle by getting to the egg and larvae stage. Luckily BioDefense can do just that! It is safe to spray around food so you would be able to just spray the area that is affected by the moths. The product is safe for daily use if needed.

These traps are very specifically attractive to ONLY the species listed on the package. You probably would NOT be attracted to the pheromones of other species either.That's not to say you might be attracted to other species for other reasons, but it's not for their pheromones. (LOL) Each trap comes with a little disk inside a sealed plastic envelope. The trap is useless without that pheromone infused disk. Unless you catch some moths and place them inside the traps, then they would attract others. I found that my traps residents multiply fast after a few successes.Use Google to find your type of moth and then come back to Amazon to find the product specifically for your brand of pest.Good luck!!

There is no way to do this. The same scent that attracts ants, attracts animals as well. Please don't do this. The instructions that come with the gel warn against doing this as well.

Its better used like moth balls, in enclosed areas. You might try fly paper, reflector tape, flashing led nite guard. Many on ---do it yourself pest control, very reasonable. Good luck.

Based on a user suggestion we used the fly trap sticky paper instead of the one that comes with these products. What you do is put the lure on that sticky paper and then hang the sticky strip near the moth traffic. Works like a charm and has lot more room to catch these buggers...

I only had one and its ben a month since I sprayed. A combination of spray and traps should help.

there's 4 traps. I put one behind the fridge, one behind the stove, one in my closet, and the last one behind the couch. I used peanut butter. they didn't work.

I'm. Sorry I bought this product so long ago. I know it didn't work for my problem. If they are insects I would buy the diatomaceous earth food grade. It cuts them in half if they walk through it. An it is safe if u breath it. But I wouldn't. I bought baby powder an took out the powder then put the dial.earth in the container. Then spread the. D. E. Where you need to. A little gos a long way. I had to move from where I was living to get rid of whatever it was. Compleat nightmare. Charlotte

Hi, Joan, No they will not help with the worms. The trap consists of sticky coated surfaces and a pheromone lure that attracts the adult moths only. The moths fly into the trap after the lure and get trapped on the sticky surface. Unless you throw out the foodstuff that's infested with the larvae (worms), they will eventually develop into moths which will get caught in the trap. It's best to track down the infested food and throw it away and use the traps for residual moths. Good luck!

You can't control and eliminate them with just this. You need an exterminator. And after the 2nd time they were here, I have had none.I used this product all around my bed and bed frame, every night. And I even sprayed it in my bed a couple of hours before I went to bed. It has a great minty smell. I also purchased the bed bug powder and put Glad containers under every leg and powder in it. And a mattress bed bug or allergen encasement. Good luck

Hello Romelle, Try using a couple of packets of the Herbal Moth away in your containers. We live in Florida and we have to store many items in the garage or attic. These packets I think keep items smelling fresh, just wish I could find them in the store. Hope this helps. Karen R.

The Safer trap seems to have worked. I caught several moths using the trap. but. I finally found the source of most of the moths, the headquarters so to speak. They were in an expensive handmade oriental rug in my dining room. I did not vacuum under the legs of a sofa, and they were nesting in the spots under the furniture where I didnot vacuum. In the future , I will move the furniture in order to vacuum. I had to moth proof the rug after it was professionally cleaned. I also bought a special spray that is supposed to kill the moths . The spray is made from chrysanthemum leaves. It is supposed to be non toxic to pets and people. We shall see.

The traps I have do not appear to catch any worms, and i would think that the worms are not of sexual maturity, and thus not affected by the pheromone bait. Sorry

These traps are for pantry moths. They will work, however, to be rid of them, you need to consider where they come from, which is usually grain related. You won't regret getting these traps, but it would take more than these alone to be completely rid of them. You'll want to make sure items like pasta, cereal, flour, oats, etc are stored wisely. The traps work by using pheromones to attract the moth and glue to capture it. I recommend to try them, but realize that the traps alone cannot "solve" the problem.

I think it works very well for clothes moths. It attracts them before they can find a home in your clothes. Not sure it would do much good if you already have an infestation.

the GE powder smothers them, you must continue to use it as directed. It takes weeks to get rid if them. I also bought the mattress and box spring zippered covers and used bed bug cup traps, to put the legs of the bed in the cups filled with the GE powder. the bug sprays only make them run to other areas of the house. I also used the 91% alcocol that I bought at walmart and put in a spray bottle. this will kill them on direct contact. It took me almost 5 weeks to get rid of them. I also vacuumed the rugs in the infested room daily.
